Great vlog as always! Can't wait to go soon!! :DDDDD
@@cocoa1sparkle thank you!!! You will have a great time. Make sure to have lots of good fair food!
My favorite everytime I go is the lottery. Spend $20 you get a card for a wheel spin to win $1 scratchers. Max you can win is 20 $1 scratchers.
I’m not much of a gambler myself but that does sound like fun. I may have to do it next time I visit the fair for fun.
@@BigRedJourneys I’m
Not either I play here and there but it’s fun at the fair. I only play if it’s like close to 900 or at the fair
I live nearby and my mom works there and saw you hope you had a good time there
Oh thats great! Hope i can bump into her next time I go. I had a great time with the entertainment and food!
Thanks for taking me to the fair! I've wanted to go since the theme was announced last fall, but I'm not able to go, so I appreciate you making such a detailed video. It brought back memories of the times I've visited in the past.
Well I am honored that this video was able to give you a little experience of the fair. Hopefully you can make it back next year!
The county fair looks so awesome this time of year
Its always fun! A yearly tradition worth keeping!
It"s really cool at night when all the ride are lit up. I can see the lights from miles away.
@@dii-N-sd agreed! Half the time if not the main reason I even stay at the fair at night is to see all the neon and lights.
Going to the county fair is a tradition that I have tried to keep for the past 30 years or more. It's the highlight of my year, pretty much. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to get over there this year, so I appreciate the tour. My favorite things are the flowers, the woodworking, the art and geology exhibits. I have never seen the black light minerals, so that was interesting. I got one of the geodes many many years ago, they were a lot cheaper back then. I like to get the Greek food. The best thing I've ever had at the fair was a chocolate and nut dipped frozen cheesecake dessert. That was pretty yummy. But that was the one time I went to the Orange County fair. The Orange County fair is different. It's a little bit more like an old-fashioned farm fair type set up.
Well I am glad to know that my video was able to provide you a little bit of enjoyment! Yes the OC FAIR is certainly different in that it sticks closer to the truer agricultural farming aspects of the region. I plan to go to it this year as well.
Hello! I wanted to let you know that I appreciate your tour, I learned some new things as I haven’t gone in a while. I had a question and I was wondering when you filmed this tour, I’m wondering what day you went to attempt to anticipate and plan things with my family so we can visit on a Wednesday or Thursday . We were planning on getting the pay one price wristbands but we were also wondering if it is worth our buck for the fast pass lanyards. We love going on rides. Thanks again, and I hope you respond! :)
Well first of all thank you for the compliment! I truly appreciate it. I went on the opening day of the fair this year which was Wednesday June 12 and I was there the entire day from opening to close. A few personal and professional observations for you is the last 2 weeks of the fair (which we are currently in) are always busier than the first 2 weeks. That doesn’t mean its unbearable, just busier depending on the day and time you go. Wednesdays and Thursdays are always the best days to go to minimize crowds and ofcourse take advantage of the wristbands. If rides are important to you and your family then the fast pass may be worth it for you but I can’t really say because I don’t do rides at the fair and I do not know how much the fastpass is currently. I would say that the earlier in the day you go, the less people were on rides so wait times are lower, but the ride waits do get longer when you get to the later afternoons into the evenings when people start to get off work and the sun goes down so people can see all the neon. If you plan to go later in the day then the fast pass offer would probably be worth it to you. Whatever you decide to do just make sure to have lots of fun and enjoy yourselves!!
@@BigRedJourneysThanks so much for the information, we plan on getting just two fast passes that are each 40 dollars just for me and my sister but we plan to be there from the morning because of the fast pass which is only sold at the park for a limited quantity, so maybe it might be worthwhile since we will most likely be there all day. Thanks again for replying to me!
Thanks for the vid!
Is there a parking fee?
You are very welcome!
YES and NO to the parking fee. Yes you pay for parking if you want to park and be closer to the fairgrounds. They have 3 options to choose from. Preferred/UpClose parking is $50 and in my opinion not worth it. General Parking is $20 but $15 if you buy online the day before you go. And you can end up parking near where the preferred parking is if you go to the fair when it opens. Then there’s Horsepark which is $10 and is about a 10 minute bus ride away (busses provided by the fair). The FREE parking is at Canyon Crest Academy which is about a 15-20 minute ride away from the fair.
going on thursday!! do you know if the big dropper ride they always have is still there? its my favorite but i didnt see it on the ride list on their website
To be honest I can’t 100% confirm either way but if my memory serves me correctly I don’t recall seeing that ride anywhere at the fair. Nothing that is a true drop ride. And it’s not listed on their website then I would probably say it’s not the case this year I’m sorry.
@@BigRedJourneys awwhh okay thank you
did you have to pay to get into the speakeasy? thanks for the fair tour!! excited to go this weekend 😊
@@lanoodle1153 no the speakeasy bar is completely free to get into but ofcourse drinks (if you decide to have any) you do have to pay for. The only stipulation is depending on the day and time you want to go to the bar there may be a wait or you may need to come back at a later time with a reservation. My previous experiences have told me that usually you are good and don’t have to worry about that but that is the only thing to really be careful of. Also no one under 21 is allowed inside. Other than that make sure to have a great time!!
@@BigRedJourneys awesome! thank you sm!
@@lanoodle1153 have a great time! And feel free to ask me anything else you may have
@@BigRedJourneys thank you!! i actually am wondering, do you happen to know much about this years passport to savings coupon book? would you say its worth it?
@@lanoodle1153 The book is usually the same year after year. Its $5 which is a nominal fee for what you could end up saving. The issue I have is that the coupons are usually Buy 1 Get 1, or 25% off 1 item, or require a minimum purchase amount before the coupon takes effect. If I go by myself it’s not worth it because ill end up having to buy 2 or 3 of the same item just to save $ and that’s just a waste of food. Also and this is more personal, most of the coupons were for food vendors that I didn’t care about. So I would say if you are going with a family or friends (group of 3 or more) then I would say the book is worth it because you can all share the food items you end up buying because of the coupon book.
Is there a trolley nearby the fair ?
@@Lalalecheee the MTS trolley doesn’t go to The Fair but the North County Transit does. Catch a Coaster from the Downtown Santa Fe station take it to the Solana Beach Station then hop on a shuttle bus to the fair. They have a specific free fair bus from the Solana station to the fair. You can learn more here. www.sdfair.com/p/plan-your-visit/tickets-deals/fair-tripper
@@BigRedJourneys oh ok! Thank you very much 😄
Let me know when is the Discovery Cube OC and Wild Rivers waterpark also are you able to send me a San Diego County Fair brochure map by mail🤔🌊🎢🧬🌠👍📲
The Discovery Cube video is next. I am hoping to have it by Friday if I can. I still need to go to Wild Rivers with Traver so that’s still a while away. The fair doesn’t have any brochures though sorry
